Build error with Qt 5.2.1 (Hope this project is still running) #17

Hi, I'm really excited about getting this going. I downloaded the source and am compiling according to the steps given but using Qt 5.2.1 and I'm getting errors. :(

In the source file /qjson/qobjecthelper.cpp (line 69) I'm got the following error: no member named 'toAscii' in 'QString' int pIdx = metaobject->indexOfProperty( inter.key().toAscii() );

I fixed this by using toStdString().c_str() instead of .toAscii()

But then my next error was 'QHttp' file not found #include in qxmlrpc/client.h This is telling me that there are more significant changes from the version of Qt you used and the one I'm using now.

I will see if I can find an older version of Qt to run on my Mac.

Cheers, Nap

Hi there should be a pre-compiled version that should work here, I believe I made it so it included the libraries it needed: https://launchpad.net/nitroshare/0.2/0.2/+download/nitroshare_0.2.app.dmg

Just drag it into your applications folder. But yeah, I believe there are quite significant differences between qt 4.8 and 5.2. - Also If you are using OSX over version Snow Leapord you need to give the app permision like this (as we aren't yet paying apple to "sign" the app): https://github.com/nathan-osman/NitroShare-Mac/issues/14 (also notifications via Growl 1.2.2 - the old free one...)

Otherwise Nathan Is doing a complete rewrite on the program for version 3 - so the project is in a "hibernation" not dead yet ;) and most of the linux/windows version stuff is going on here: https://launchpad.net/nitroshare/ and the new version here: https://github.com/nitroshare - so ignore my "development" branch here.

I'll try to get my external drive updated and give the new qt a shot, maybe we can sort through the changes.

Thanks for you interest -Mateo

Thanks Mateo, downloaded from launchpad and it almost works. I can send files from my OSX to Ubuntu, but when I go the other way, my Ubuntu says "Connection Refused" and OSX does not put up a dialog asking to accept (yes/no) the file.

I've got OSX 10.9.2 Mavericks installed. I know this isn't really a bug, but since I'm really new to OSX, I must ask: I have my OSX firewall turned off and all the other settings on that tab are allowing everything. Can you advise what else I need to set in OSX to enable it to receive files please?

make sure you don't have "block all incoming conections" on or look for app specific setting in -> system preferences -> security -> firewall -> advanced
